Blasted Thievery

"Pelosi said only "a very few" of America's wealthiest people were being asked to pay a new surtax to help foot the healthcare reform bill, while House Majority leader Steny Hoyer said lawmakers would push for more healthcare cost savings in the final version of the legislation." (Reuters)

And yet she also wants to drop the income level classifying a "wealthy" American to $200k/year, which is hardly "a very few". When a government starts "equalizing" money distribution, earned honestly by its hard-working people, it's one GIANT step closer to socialism. Which, in case Pelosi has never read a history book, has never worked in the history of the world.

Sure we need healthcare reform. But stealing from the rich to care for the poor is still stealing.

I know that I'm opinionated, which is why I usually try to stay away from political commentary. But, really folks... Really...
